Man is a social animal. It is such an animal, which has a social instinct also. A human being is much more seperat than the other fellow animals, very particularly, the way of living. Where the difference lies and why it is such? In fact 'the society' is responsible for it.Therefore 'the society' can not denay the responcibility of it's outcome.

HONOUR KILLING IN ANCIENT INDIA.

I had the impression that the honour killing comes from the Arabian Society or Islamic Society to the Indian Society as an imported concept. But when I recall the case of Parashuram, I came to understood that, the concept has the Indian origin also.
• Parashuram killed her mother, to save the honour of his family and father, - being ordered by his father, to kill his mother.
• In Ramayana, the elopement of Sita by Ravan was for the sake of the honour Surpanakha and Ravan. On the other hand the fight between Ram and Ravan was sake of the honour of Ram, - who left Sita latter on.
• War of kuruchetra, in between Kourav and Pandav also a fight for the Honour of Draupadi and Pandav. Though, judhisteer was agreed for five villages instead of whole kingdom, but Vim and Krishna agitate judhisteer repeating the scene of snatching the cloths of Draupadi by Kouravs.
